What roles does Anthony Nolan fund?

We fund post-transplant clinical nurse specialists (CNS) and clinical psychology posts at transplant centres in the UK.

What do Anthony Nolan healthcare professionals do?

As clinical experts with knowledge of the unique needs of patients having a stem cell transplant, they provide personalised support and advice and are key members of the transplant team.

They address the physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing of patients and families, and develop new services that will better support recovery.

Until recently I didn’t know if I could be strong enough to get through the next day. Then I met my Anthony Nolan CNS. She talked me through my options, helped me understand what was happening to me and empowered me with strength to take control back in my life.
